Last chance to sponsor a CN Tower climber

I woke up this morning feeling somehow surprised that I had agreed to climb the CN Tower for a third year in a row (is it possible for knees to wince?). But really, when I think about it, how can I say no?

How we raised $858 in one day for the CN Tower climb

Fundraising can be tough. Nobody likes to go door-to-door asking their friends, relatives and neighbours for money and e-mail spamming them is just as bad.

Our awesome volunteers: Venus and Iris Pun wake up early to make a difference

There aren’t too many teenagers who would choose to wake up at 3 a.m. on a rainy Saturday morning, travel two hours across downtown Toronto and volunteer their time all day to help set up and execute a massive fundraising event, without ever having done it before and not knowing what to expect – all because her older sister told her she had to. But that is exactly what Venus Pun did this past April for WWF’s CN Tower Climb.

My first year at WWF

Last week, I celebrated one year as a Communications Officer for WWF-Canada. It took me by surprise – at times it feels like I’ve been here forever and at times like I just started yesterday. It really made me think about how much happened in the past year and what a great experience it has been for me.

It will be the experience of a lifetime. Transformative. Inspiring. Like no other trip you can imagine. A classroom and an education without lockers and desks.

That’s what’s in store for the four high school students who are selected to participate in an Arctic expedition this summer aboard the Students on Ice ship. WWF is funding four spots for youth, aged 16-18, from Greenland and Nunavut. But hurry! The May 27 deadline is fast approaching.
